Everyone has those go-to movies for when you just want a happy ending. Here’s some more, so you don’t tire any out.
Comfort movies are…
- Entertaining and funny
- Have likable characters or two likeable romance leads
- Visually bright, fun, and not bleak
- Movies without major character death, sexual violence, homophobia, racism, etc.
- Movies with happy endings
Isn’t any favorite movie a comfort movie?
Every film shares its perspective on life. If it shows you something gray-toned and every character is miserable, it’s telling you life sucks. If you’re like me, you internalize these messages, which takes a toll on your view of life.
The comfort movies I’ve collected don’t have to be your favorite, but they’re movies that build off of famous feel-goods like Robin Hood or Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, which ultimately share implicit optimistic messages about life.
